I moved into my apartment like 20 days ago, and I was placed with random roommates (it’s a long story), but ever since move in I’m the only one who ever cleans anything and I’m getting tired of it. What can I do to get them to start helping some? (1/2)

I don’t mind doing my part, but having to do everything is getting on my nerves. Especially bc I have the hardest major out of any of them and get home at like 1030 everyday from studying and I come home to the apartment being a wreck. They all get home by 530 everyday and just sit in their rooms and do nothing. Ik I could just leave their mess, but I cannot stand living in filth.

Kinda dealing with that myself rn. Im the only one who takes out the garbage, does dishes, and doesnt leave trash everywhere. Have you talked to them about it?

I haven’t been extremely confrontational about it

Maybe send them a text instead of making it a whole conversation, plus then if there are issues down the line then you have written proof that you tried to work things out with them.

I’m going through this too but I think my roommates would be super passive aggressive about it like they usually are and they wouldn’t even follow it
